Factoid: The St. Marys River flows between Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan and Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada. The world famous Soo Locks on the Michigan side allows visitors to watch some of the worlds largest lake freighters and ocean-going ships lifted and lowered 21 feet as they travel between Lake Superior and Lake Huron. Inside the Visitors Center, hands-on exhibits help visitors understand how the locks operate and their national significance. Boat schedules, videos and information sheets are also available in the Visitor Center.
